Targeting the p38 MAPK Pathway Inhibits Irinotecan Resistance in Colon Adenocarcinoma
15 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Despite recent advances in the treatment of colon cancer, tumor resistance is a frequent cause of chemotherapy failure. To better elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in resistance to irinotecan (and its active metabolite SN38), we established SN38-resistant clones derived from HCT-116 and SW48 cell lines. These clones show various levels (6- to 60-fold) of resistance to SN-38 and display enhanced levels...
